We put QUAKE III under UBUNTU 7.10

Quake III is probably a cult game that many have grown up with. After 2005, when the engine code became publicly available, it became possible to play Q3 and under Linux. This feature was provided by ioquake3. Today I will try to tell you in detail how to install and configure the game under Ubuntu on an EEE PC.

Quake III Step-by-Step Installation Guide
What we need:

• SD memory card
• Quake III installation CD, we need pak0.pk3
• ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run
• autoexec.cfg optimized for EEE PC

We also need the library libopenal0a, run in the console:

sudo apt-get install libopenal0a

Create a q3inst directory. Go to the memory card and download the file ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run
')
cd / media / data /
mkdir q3inst
cd q3inst /
wget ioquake3.org/files/ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run

Where / media / data / is the path where we have a memory card.
Run ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run

sudo sh ioquake3-1.34-rc3.run

The installer window will appear. (I have a Russified version of Ubuntu, the installer did not display the Cyrillic alphabet correctly).
Accept the terms of use of the license, click on.
In the next step, we need to change the installation path to:

/ media / data / games / ioquake3 /

We press further, after the installation has successfully completed. We need to copy from pak0.pk3 from the original disk. On the main PC, copy it to a USB flash drive, it is located in the / baseq3 / directory
Insert the USB flash drive in the EEE PC copy the file to the directory / media / data / games / ioquake3 / baseq3 /

cd / media / disk-1 /
cp pak0.pk3 / media / data / games / ioquake3 / baseq3 /

Where / media / disk-1 / is the way where the flash drive was mounted.
Swing autoexec.cfg

cd / media / data / q3inst /
wget hackavatar.com/gaming/Quake/dowloads/autoexec.cfg

Copy it too to the folder / media / data / games / ioquake3 / baseq3 /

cp autoexec.cfg / media / data / games / ioquake3 / baseq3 /

Everything is ready, run Applications> Games> ioqake3

FPS in the game on average 50-70. Original article and photo: EEE-Blog.Ru
